Issues with spaces

[tanepiper]

Thanks to Dave earlier, I got my script working.

 

However I've been debugging a problem for a while and haven't been able to come up with a solution.

 

The issues seems to be with my script that any spaces seem to kill the script and default back to Google/Amazon/Wiki search.

 

To test it wasn't my code, I've done the following example lines:

 

$filter = preg_split("/\s/", trim("web 1"));

$filter = preg_split("/\s/", trim(str_replace('-', ' ', "{query}")));

 

In the first case, I run the PHP script from the command line and it works fine.  In the second one, when I need to put a space in I instead do a dash (so I can do'web-1' or '1-web') and in both cases it works fine.  But try 'web 1' in Alfred, and it breaks after I do 'web' then space.

 

I was just exploding on the space as well in previous versions, but had no luck getting this to work.

 

Any ideas?

 

(Oh I should say this is a PHP script)

Any way that you could share it with me or let me take a peak at some of the code? I could probably find a solution a lot faster that way

Any word on how to fix this? I am experiencing the same issue with spaces killing the script.

 

EDIT: FIXED

 

I got mine working by declaring the variable earlier then using the variable in the script:

 

 

$the_query = "{query}";

 

echo '<?xml version="1.0"?>

<items>

  <item uid="NA" valid="no">

    <title>'.strlen($the_query).'</title>

    <subtitle>"'.$the_query.'"</subtitle>

    <icon>D9AAD7B8-26CC-4444-B8D0-35F833CC0C05.png</icon>

  </item>

</items>';
